Chart agents to offer weather services

(June 16 2008) Admiralty chart agents Lilley & Gillie and DPM have teamed up with weather company Meteo Consult to provide weather forecasting data to their customers by offering Meteo Consult’s Ship Performance Optimisation System (SPOS) with their chart services.
SPOS is an onboard weather advisory software tool that provides wind, sea and swell forecasts, and ocean current, hurricane/typhoon and ice formation data twice daily.
Alternative routes can also be provided, allowing the master to make better informed decisions on final voyage plans.
